Spider Control

It may be how they crawl, or how they bite, or how often you find them in your home. It’s not always clear what causes the discomfort, but few people want to share their homes with a spider.

The problem is that spiders will come into your home. Spiders are able to fit through even the smallest of cracks. Killing a spider on your own will not prevent new spiders from entering, and in some cases, spiders can actually point to a larger pest problem as these predatory insects may only be moving in because they sense there are enough insects for them to feed on. It’s why treating spiders often involves eliminating any other pests as well.

Spiders are objectively helpful bugs. They are nature’s pest control. Though they have a reputation for being creepy and unpleasant, most of them are harmless to humans or have bites that are no more painful than a mosquito bite. Since they eat other insects like flies and cockroaches, spiders function as a form of pest control for homes.

Because spiders go into homes where they can find food, seeing spiders can mean that your home has a larger pest control issue. There are likely enough pests of some sort to sustain at least one spider, but usually several. In addition, spiders have very similar travel habits, so if one spider found an entrance into your home, most likely other spiders will follow.

Spiders themselves generally pose no danger. Many spider species cannot pierce human skin, and only a few have venom toxic enough that it can affect humans.

But we do have several spider species in the region that will bite if they feel threatened, including:

These spiders cause more painful bites, and in some cases can cause necrosis or even death. Other spider species may have bites that are about as painful as a bee sting and could pose challenges to anyone with an allergy.

Single spiders can be killed without professional help. Even poisonous spiders can be safely killed with a fly swatter or Windex. But, since one spider likely means many more are coming, it’s best to contact Affordable Pest Solutions to exterminate those spiders and prevent them from coming back.

Spider control involves placing a family safe pesticide barrier all-around your home inside, outside, or both. We can also seal up entrance points with a process known as “exclusion,” making it harder for pests to enter.

We may also recommend removing their food source. Once we determine what pests the spiders are eating, we can treat for that pest. With no food, additional spiders will be less attracted to the property. While these services can be onetime solutions, they are best considered as part of our Yearly 365 Protection Plan. Our long-lasting services exterminate existing pests – from spiders to cockroaches to ants, and more – and prevent new ones from entering.

We are a family-owned and operated company – a feature that shows in the quality of our service. All of our customers are treated with individualized attention and their homes with the same respect we give our own.

We know that pest control is about more than eliminating pests. That’s why we want you to feel taken care of throughout the process – whether you’re getting an initial quote, a one-time spider treatment, or ongoing pest control. With affordable service and keen attention to detail, we can have your home spider-free and pest free right away. Give us a call today to get started.
